Dear Jim, Sakue, Francois, Hitoshi and all my WWS-OC friends, I propose to distribute Sakue's new call to all members of the LC-UK Steering Committee, ahead of tomorrow morning's phone-conference, to get some immediate grassroots reactions which I may feed back to you. I looked at the web reference given for the list of benchmark interactions and could not yet find anything there under the heading promised. Can Sakue please let me know what is the currently planned list of benchmark reactions? As always, I am particularly concerned that the use of Bhabha acollinearity for determining the luminosity spectrum should be kept in there, with application to the determination of the top quark mass by the threshold scan. -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jim Brau Sent: 12 March 2008 02:54 To: [log in to unmask] Cc: Sakue Yamada; Francois Richard; ?? ?
